this was a really shitty, implausible, and uninteristing story arc even when the bullshit you've put together is presumed true and considered on its own terms.

given that she's a hot 20-something girl who has the attention of buff as fuck alpha 20-something CHAD your story rots in its own juices and sloughs off even the slightest patina of plausibility. protip evan: hot 20-something girls who work PT for minimum wage at Aldi do not pine after 5'6 skinnyfat 40 year old homosexual grocery clerks who live in shitty 587 sq/ft 1br walk up apts, don't drink, don't have friends, don't have money, and poast 18 hrs/day on xo.

i know (xo 2018 is not the golden age, but please try harder next time with your shitty-ass flame.
